Pure Delight
 
I awoke this morning from the sleep of the innocent, with a deep sense of forgiveness, love and acceptance by a caring God in an orderly world.  It’s nice to have one’s life and one’s faith values in sync.   
 
Even better, as I was letting out the dogs, a song from long ago and out of nowhere – a song my mother used to belt out in her loud, joyous, and woefully off-key voice – filled my heart and then filled my house, causing the dogs to dance and the windows to rattle. 
 
My point:  I think sometimes God just wants to remind us that He cares, and the recognition of that caring is pure delight (maybe even bordering on joy).  So, I invite you to celebrate that love — which is free for the asking for all of us.  Bonus:  I guarantee that you will not be able to keep from smiling if you open your lungs and let loose with one of my Mother’s favorite songs, below.  (Yes, a potentially sad song, but Mom made it joyful, as was her nature.)  God bless and may your weekend be filled with pure delight. — jri
 
In the morning, O Lord, you hear
    my voice;
in the morning I lay my requests
        before you
    and wait in expectation.”
        –    King David
               (Psalm 5:3)
 
You are my Sunshine,
my only Sunshine.
You make me happy
when skies are gray.
You’ll never know, Dear,
how much I love you.
Please don’t take my sunshine away.
        –    You Are My Sunshine
                Jimmy Davis & Charlie Mitchell
